A woman was reportedly arrested after posting a video of herself on Snapchat.  

Normally, a video of a woman walking in a miniskirt and crop top in the blazing heat would barely get any attention. But this video was filmed at a historic site in Saudi Arabia, where women are expected to dress modestly, with no bare midriffs or knees and uncovered heads. 

After the post went viral, the Washington Post reported that Riyadh police arrested the woman for wearing “suggestive clothing,” according to Saudi state TV station Al Ekhbariya.
